  • V. OTHER REQUIREMENTS

  • Please describe in an essay of approximately 500 to 600 words, something about why you chose this field of study, your efforts to help finance your own education, participation in extracurricular activity pursuits* and your involvement in volunteering in your local or wider community. Try not to go back too much into your high school years to try and fulfill volunteering and activity pursuits but keep it more relevant to the present year.

    * Activities can range from a team sport to an individual pursuit to something in the outdoors or the arts. The idea of this requirement is to demonstrate that you have at least some balance in your life and a certain level of activity although it does not have to be at a high or intense level.

  • Two letters of recommendation from individuals outside of your family. Each letter should be no more than one page and should have been written in the most recent academic school year.

    Letters of Reference are important to your application. References should be from someone who actually knows something about you and can give some indication of your character or ability. It is worthwhile to have one academic reference but also others from someone like an employer, coach, pastor or mentor.

    *Two letters of reference are required only in the first year of applying and can be sent via email or by Canada Post.
